How long to allow, by departure country
The minimum lead time depends on the country your pet leaves from, not the airport: that is what decides whether a blood test and a months-long wait are added to the file.
- 25 days from Argentina, Canada, Chile, Spain, France, Mexico, and United States
- 120 days from Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, Panama, Peru, Paraguay, and Uruguay
What to watch on these routes
From Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, Panama, Peru, Paraguay, and Uruguay, a rabies antibody titre test is required, followed by a wait of several months: that is what brings the lead time to 120 days.
At least one airport on these routes has heat embargoes: in summer, some airlines refuse pets in the hold.
